[DeTomaso] Engine installation party--Wednesday 26 May

[MikeLDrew at aol.com]

Hi guys,

Since weekends are precious, and there's lots of ORFs and bums like me out 
there who have expressed a willingness to help, I'm throwing an engine 
installation party at my house this coming Wednesday, 26 May.   Today I installed 
the aluminum flywheel, McLeod clutch (reusing the clutch as it was in 
perfect condition with almost no wear on the disc) and ZF gearbox.   I've got a 
few minor details left to attend to, and then everything will be ready for 
installation.

The plan is to start at 9:00 a.m. and be driving the car by the end of the 
day.   Given that externally the engine is unchanged from before (the only 
difference is the cylinder heads), installation should be relatively 
straightforward.   Of course there's always opportunities for things to go wring! :>

The weather forecast is for scattered showers, so it might be a good day to 
leave your Pantera at home and just drive your Brand X car.   Outdoor 
grilling probably won't be on the cards either, so we'll get pizza or something.  
 In any case there will definitely be coffee and donuts in the morning, and 
beer, sodas, and water for the rest of the day.

Here's the address:

Please let me know if you're coming so I can plan accordingly. :>)
